Understanding French Drain Systems
A French drain is a trench filled with gravel or rock containing a perforated pipe that redirects surface water and groundwater away from an area. It is an effective solution for managing water around foundations, in basements, or in other areas where water pooling is a problem. The primary purpose of a French drain is to prevent water from causing damage to your property, such as basement flooding, soil erosion, and foundation instability.
